We have a 2-1/2 year old masonry 2BR CYV and our last SECO bill was $92, all summer they averaged in the $90's. The highest bill we ever had was about $110 during our first year of 2011. However, we set the A/C temperature on 83 and at night 82, any lower than that and it's too cold for us. We also use our ceiling fans. I thought that was rather warm so I brought in a separate thermometer to compare and it read exactly the same, 83 degrees. I guess were just use to it.
When I go in friends CYV's they feel like a refrigerator to me. 73 seems awfully low, maybe try 78. When we first moved here we would set ours at 79, then a couple of months later we went to 80 and then 81 and now we sometimes even set ours to 84. We haven't tried to make it too warm, we're just setting it to what's comfortable for us.
